#17: Clueless Shimawake

I generally don't tweak my puzzles after the first draft, but this time I tried to accomodate some of the CtC testers feedback and see how much I can improve it. There were remarks about a cryptic and unintuitive step, and it took three iterations to make the puzzle smooth enough while keeping most of the interesting logic intact. I should learn to do this with my puzzles more often.

Rules

Standard Heyawake rules. Additionally, any two regions that share a border must contain different numbers of shaded cells.

#22: CtC Secret Santa 2024: MAS (part 3)

 The final three puzzles, relatively on the easier side.
